I had the pleasure of reading an early copy of Outside the Lines, and from the first page, just like her previous book, Best Kept Secret, Amy had me hooked. The book is about Eden, a young woman searching for her father David. David suffers from mental illness and when she was ten years old, [...] Don’t look at that title and think it’s a diss, if you’ve read Eleanor’s book, The Weird Sisters then you know it’s a huge compliment. Eleanor’s book has done extremely well, and the reviews for the book have been phenomenal. The Miami Herald called it, “Delightful . . . That’s Brown’s gift: She draws you [...] I had the pleasure of meeting Jacqueline last summer at the National Black Book Festival. She taught me a valuable lesson and I blogged about it here. Jacqueline stopped by the blog to dish about her new book, Passing Love. It follows the story of Nicole-Marie Handy, a woman who has loved all things French [...] When I read Amy Hatvany’s novel, Best Kept Secret, the characters resonated with me in such a way that I thought about them for days. Emily Giffin said it, "Grabs you from page one and doesn’t let you go,” and she’s spot on in her review. So I was thrilled that she made time to [...] The wonderful Kelly O’Connor McNees is here to discuss her new book, The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott, which is now out in paperback. If you love Little Women then you’ll love this book. In her debut novel, Kelly deftly mixes fact and fiction as she imagines a summer lost to history, carefully purged [...] There are many things that people don’t know about me. But one of them that A LOT of people don’t know is that my middle name is Spencer. You guessed it folks, my legal name after getting married is Katrina Spencer Spencer. Find out more about me at Minolta C. White’s lovely blog. We dish [...] I want to give a big cyber hug to Tayari Jones for stopping by the blog today to discuss her new novel, Silver Sparrow. Silver Sparrow is set in a middle-class neighborhood in Atlanta in the 1980s. The novel revolves around James Witherspoon’s families– the public one and the secret one. When the daughters from [...] As promised guys the lovely Sarah Pekkanen has stopped by to discuss her new novel, Skipping a Beat. She’s been getting rave reviews, Bestselling author Emily Giffin called it, “original, engaging, and soulful” and Jen Lancaster called it “evocative and compelling.” Skipping a Beat follows the tale of Julia Dunhill, a thirty-something party planner, [...] Kimberla Lawson Roby is truly an inspiration. From self-published, to New York Times Bestselling Author, Kimberla’s latest book Love, Honor and Betray will not disappoint her loyal fans. This is her 15th novel, and her 8th in the Curtis Black series. Kimberla didn’t become a successful author by chance. Read on how her hard work [...] Every now and then I read a book that really sticks with me. Last year it was The Help. This year, it’s Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. Wench follows the tale of a real resort named Tawawa House, situated in the free state of Ohio. A beautiful, inviting house surrounded by a dozen private cottages, the [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
